+ifeq ($(LD_SONAME_FLAG),)
+       $(LD_SHARED) -o $(MonoPosixHelper) $(local_objs) $(LOCAL_LDFLAGS)
+else
+       $(LD_SHARED) $(LD_SONAME_FLAG)$(MonoPosixHelperLeaf) -o $(MonoPosixHelper) $(local_objs) $(LOCAL_LDFLAGS)
+endif

Maybe just set LD_SONAME_FLAG to "-o " if not defined elsewhere?

Anyway, if you think this patch will be useful, there's nothing wrong
with it, but I think you're right in that there's a larger issue to be
addressed here. My feeling is that it just doesn't make sense to compile
C shared libraries without using libtool and autoconf, so something
should be changed around in the current setup.
